More From John F. Kennedy

As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' we now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' when the know-nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.' when it comes to this i should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – to russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.
Country Freedom Taken
For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.

That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned: that until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; that until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.
Dream Philosophy Eye
Until the philosophy which hold one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned... everything is war. me say war. that until the're no longer 1st class and 2nd class citizens of any nation... until the color of a man's skin is of no more significa...nce than the color of his eyes, me say war. that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race me say war!
Philosophy War Eye
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.
Men Rights Forever
The law of nations is naturally founded on this principle, that different nations ought in time of peace to do one another all the good they can, and in time of war as little injury as possible, without prejudicing their real interests.
